Tom Hardy’s name has been in and out of the news cycle this year, particularly surrounding the MobLand controversy. Hardy headlined the first season of the Guy Ritchie-directed Paramount Plus crime thriller with Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, and the show was picked up for Season 2, which is coming out later this year. However, it was reported not long ago that Hardy had been fired from MobLand, but these reports were debunked a few days later, confirming that Hardy would return as Harry Da Souza should the show be renewed for Season 3. Hardy has been busy in recent years starring in some of the highest-grossing sci-fi movies of all time thanks to his Venomfranchise. While newer fans may recognize him for his work as Eddie Brock, long-time Hardy followers know him from a few other projects.
Some fans would argue that Hardy’s most famous project came back in 2015 on Mad Max: Fury Road, while others would say his work with Christopher Nolan on films like Inception and The Dark Knight Rises takes the cake. Hardy has still only been nominated for an Oscar once in his career, and it came in 2015 for his performance in The Revenant, the legendary Western epic from director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Hardy’s Oscar nod was overshadowed by his co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, finally winning the Academy Award for the first time in his career for his performance as Hugh Glass in the film, but it’s impossible to dispute that Iñárritu guided Hardy to one of his finest performances in The Revenant. 11 years after release, The Revenant is still without a streaming home in America, but the film is surging on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV.
What Is ‘The Revenant’ About?
The official synopsis for The Revenant, which also stars Domhnall Gleeson, reads as follows: “On the American frontier, fur trapper Hugh Glass is left for dead after a brutal bear attack and betrayal by his own hunting party. Driven by an unbreakable will to survive and a burning need for vengeance, Glass endures the harshest wilderness imaginable to track down the man who left him behind.” The Revenant holds scores of 78% from critics and 84% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. The film also grossed $533 million at the global box office against a $135 million budget, making it one of the most successful movies of Tom Hardy’s career. The Revenant director Alejandro G. Iñárritu has been tapped to direct Tom Cruise's next movie, Digger, coming out this October.
Check out The Revenant on VOD platforms like Prime Video, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Tom Hardy’s future projects.
